weeds + water wednesday: sideways rain

*sigh*

i must confess:

i am having a difficult time getting my garden going in this mercurial weather.

sadly, every time i plan to plant we are once again in the midst of a day filled with cold grey foggy misty windy sideways rain.

is it possible that next week is JUNE?!?

this el nino business has got to go.

i need some inspiration to help me through this!

perhaps i should ponder the albert camus quote i saw earlier today:

"in the depth of winter i finally learned 
that in me was an invincible summer."

i did sketch some potting diagrams this week and find this tutorial on using a toilet paper roll to start seedlings...


...however, there are no new plants on my porch.

ah, well.  c'est la vie!

it is my sincere hope to report back to you next week with some happier garden news.
